Li Ming naturally didn't care that these people were banding together.

Ultimately.

The challenges in this secret realm are largely determined by your own efforts.

This first test filtered out many people. Those who made it here were all martial artists with considerable talent. Li Ming glanced at them and found that quite a few were already Martial Saint level experts.

However, he was not young, but he barely exceeded the limit of the secret realm.

"This test is about our comprehension. Once we enter the hall, the trial will begin. Within a limited time, we will need to learn a supernatural power or secret technique."

Guan Xin analyzed it logically and clearly:

"Of course, this should not be a problem at all for Brother Li."

While Guan Xin was speaking, many people had already entered the hall to undergo the test.

The reason why many people start forming groups is because they wonder if it's possible that they're taking the same exam.

Through mutual exchange, they might be able to grasp supernatural powers and secret techniques more quickly, thus completing the trial.

Let's go.

Li Ming nodded calmly and entered the hall with Guan Xin.

Upon entering, a statue inside the hall flashed with golden light.

A supernatural technique was also transmitted into Li Ming's mind.

"The Emperor's Aura Observation Technique"

Li Ming's heart stirred; he hadn't expected the divine power he had drawn to be such a profound technique.

Between heaven and earth, things change endlessly, and all things are mutually generating and restraining. By mastering the ability to observe the aura of the emperor, one can understand all changes and gain an invincible position...

When facing an enemy, one can discern the flow of their true energy and its weaknesses.

In ordinary times, this technique can also be used to determine good or bad fortune. When mastered, it can even be used to sense the future. It is an extremely profound and mysterious supernatural power.

This kind of supernatural power is arguably the most difficult to cultivate.

He saw many people sitting cross-legged on the ground, racking their brains to figure out how to comprehend this supernatural technique. Even the tenth prince of the Great Xuan, Jiang Chen, and others were trying.

With Li Ming's current level of understanding, he quickly grasped the essence of this supernatural power.

This is different from ordinary cultivation techniques and supernatural powers. It requires the Yin and Yang energies as a foundation, supplemented by the myriad changes in the Qi of heaven and earth, and can only be cultivated with an extremely high state of mind.

"It just so happens that I am capable of cultivation."

Li Ming's eyes lit up slightly.

This trial in the secret realm wasn't just a random exercise where they were allowed to practice supernatural powers and secret techniques; they came prepared.

Although it's difficult.

But for him, it was not difficult.

Guan Xin, who was not far away, noticed the change in Li Ming's expression and asked with considerable curiosity:

"Brother Li, I don't know what kind of supernatural power you want to cultivate. Mine is a sword technique."

"A rather mysterious supernatural power, the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique."

Li Ming said calmly.

"The Emperor's Aura Observation Technique?"

Guan Xin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, feeling somewhat worried.

This supernatural power is notoriously...difficult!

In the past, only a very few people have encountered this, and all of them have failed, missing the opportunity.

Wan Kong, a true disciple of Wanfa Mountain who was not far away, also heard these words and couldn't help but feel a little pleased.

"This Li Ming is really unlucky. The Emperor's Qi Observation Technique is recognized as the most difficult supernatural ability in the second level. No one has ever been able to comprehend this supernatural ability before."

The supernatural power he extracted himself was not difficult to obtain, and he already had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

When they heard that Li was in bad luck, had drawn the most difficult supernatural power, and was clearly in trouble.

He couldn't help but feel a little smug, and he said to those around him, intentionally or unintentionally:

"Sometimes, luck is still very important in martial arts training."

"yes."

"Some people are extremely talented, but they are overtaken by others because of bad luck and missed opportunities. There are many such examples."

"Those with strong combat power but bad luck will find it difficult to go far in the Martial Saint realm."

Many people gloated, and now that Li Ming is extremely famous, it naturally attracts a lot of jealousy.

Seeing that Li was in a bad mood and might be eliminated, many people showed a faint hint of mockery.

Guan Xin was quite annoyed, looking at those who had spoken so sarcastically:

"If you good-for-nothings can pass the test, how could Detective Li possibly fail?"

Prince Jiang Chen also spoke up:

"Just figure out your own path. If you can't even get past this hurdle, wouldn't you become a laughingstock?"

"Hmph, I'd like to see what this Li Ming is capable of."

Upon hearing the words of the Great Xuan Prince, Wan Kong was not annoyed, but instead snorted coldly, showing considerable disdain.

Not long after, he watched Li Ming fall into deep thought, a hint of disdain flashing across his lips, and deliberately raised his voice:

"I'm going to study the Heavenly Stele first."

"Walk."

After saying that, he walked directly to the statue, touched it, and then turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.

Li Ming, however, paid no attention to the changes in everyone's expressions and remained deep in thought.

"Exhaustively explore the two poles of Yin and Yang, observe the changes of the celestial sphere..."

Li Ming focused his mind, his eyes seeming to flash across mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, and all things in the world.

It seemed like a moment, yet also like an eternity.

He felt a jolt in his mind and returned to reality. He opened his eyes and could clearly see a special aura above the heads of some people.

That is, the energy of fortune and calamity.

Having luck means having an opportunity.

The presence of calamity energy indicates that the other party is facing imminent disaster.

"Guan Xin has a calamity aura above his head, indicating that a crisis is imminent, while I have a golden aura of good fortune above my head, suggesting that great benefits await me soon?"

Li Ming silently analyzed the situation in his mind.

That's quite an interesting supernatural power.

It can anticipate the enemy's moves in battle and also predict good or bad fortune in peacetime, making it quite convenient.

When combined with the system and the FAST telescope, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

As he regained consciousness, he unleashed this supernatural power.

A golden light flashed across the statues inside the hall.

[Trial participant, Li Ming, has passed the test.]

"Excellent, Brother Li, you truly live up to your reputation!"

When Guan Xin saw that Li Ming had also passed the test, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

He was lucky; he only needed to master one sword technique to pass the level.

It's not difficult for him.

Li Ming actually mastered the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique, which had been previously untouched by anyone, which was truly remarkable.

"Incredible, he actually mastered this supernatural power..."

“I remember there was a top genius who spent all his time but still couldn’t get the hang of it.”

Inside the main hall, there was an uproar, and everyone was deeply shocked.

But considering that it was Li Ming who made this move, it seemed normal.

They were also aware of Li Ming's extraordinary talent.

But seeing it with their own eyes and experiencing it firsthand gives them a completely different feeling.

"Ah, I'm about to figure it out."

Those who failed to master the supernatural techniques within the time limit were instantly teleported out of the secret realm.

"Many people have already gone to study the Heavenly Stele. Brother Li, let's hurry up and go."

"Walk."

Li Ming nodded.

Immediately, the two walked to the statue in the main hall, transformed into white light, and arrived at the end of their journey.

Tianbei Peak.

On the mountain peak, a number of people were gathered around a stone tablet, seemingly trying to understand something.

Outside the mountain peak, many people have already passed the test of enlightenment and arrived here.

Li Ming stepped onto the mountain steps and soon reached the summit.

The summit is extremely open, as if one has entered another world. At its core is a huge stone tablet, a thousand meters high, which seems to pierce the sky and soar into the clouds.

The stone tablet was covered with knife marks, and each knife mark carried a powerful knife intent.

Every strike of the sword contains infinite variations.

It gets increasingly difficult and profound from the bottom up.
